But, as for how we got here let’s remember that George Bush helped kill whatever reformist movement there was in Iran by referring to Iran as part of the “axis of Evil,” thus making it easy to paint any Iranian reformer as “objectively pro-American.” Much as I don’t like the Bush administration I’m not actually hoping that France invades to liberate us and I imagine most Iranians feel much the same way. The Bush administrations “isolate no matter what” tough talk certainly gives Iran a lot of incentive to get a nuke as quickly as possible.And, of course, our great Iraqi adventure has made things like air strikes a wee bit difficult. The people in our new pet democracy/Iranian client state probably won’t be too thrilled about that. So if there is a weapons development site to be taken out our hands are rather more tied on that account than they would have otherwise been.
I’ll admit I worry less about a nuclear Iran than some. State sponsored nuclear terrorism/war would require a completely irrational actor, one even more irrational than North Korea’s Dear Leader. Nuclear proliferation is a concern, but state proliferation less than the general wandering nuke issue…
President Bush could have initiated something in regards to Iran four years ago but he choose to use tough rhetoric in lieu of anything substantial. Now our options are…what?
What a shame.

Trofeo Luis Puig, cancelled. So much for my dream of winning a “Lou the Pig” trophy for my wall display. Oh how easily all my dreams get flushed down the toilet.
